Chapter 465 They Might Have Had an Affair Long ago
"Sure, Grandpa. I won't let you down."
The Old Riley introduced him to several old friends of his. He used all kinds of ways to express how
much he favored Rashad.
Chloe whispered to Sophia, "Drake is at risk of losing power, Sophia."
Sophia chuckled, "It's alright. I can raise him if he's dumped by the Riley family."
"Will he be willing to be a live-in son-in-law?"
"Ask Bailey if he's also willing to be a live-in son-in-law of the Thomas family."
Since Bailey entered the hall, he had guarded Chloe all the time. After all, the baby grew older. He was
afraid she would have an accident.
Chloe didn't answer but stared at him; her implications were evident.
"Honey, of course, I'm willing. As long as you raise me for the rest of your life," Bailey hurriedly said.
Chloe curled her lips into a smile. "No worries. As long as you please me, I will."
"Thank you, honey!"
Sophia smirked while listening.
Drake and Flynn were busy with something, so they didn't return to the party for a long time.
Suddenly, Rashad elegantly strode towards Sophia while holding a goblet.
In the past, Chloe had a good impression of Rashad. At high school, she joked about letting Sophia
date Rashad.
However, after experiencing recent matters, Chloe didn't think he was decent.
Rashad greeted Chloe, "Chloe, the gentleman next to you must be Mr. Duncan, your husband, right?"
Being polite, Chloe nodded and replied, "Let me introduce my husband to you, Rashad. This is Bailey
Duncan. Bailey, this is Rashad Witt, a senior in my high school."
Bailey knew Rashad was Drake's rival in love, so he simply reached out. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Witt."
Rashad could tell Bailey wasn't friendly but didn't care. He shook hands with Bailey and replied, "Nice
to meet you, too, Mr. Duncan."
After exchanging a few words with Bailey, Rashad looked at Sophia.
He had no chance to talk to her earlier. Finally, he found an opportunity. Besides, Bailey and Chloe
were with her, so others wouldn't set tongue wagging about them. Also, Sophia wouldn't overthink.
"You look wonderful tonight, Sophia," Rashad praised.
Chloe and Bailey exchanged looks with each other.
Chloe could tell how smart Rashad was. He always hit on Sophia naturally in others' presence.
However, the more Chloe thought about it, the more horrified she became.
Sophia replied calmly, "Thank you, Rashad. You look handsome as well."
"My mother told many guests you'd bought the dress for her. Are you mad? She has left the upper
class for a long time and spent most of her time with me. Therefore, she has become simple-minded
and careless. If you feel offended, I hope you can forgive her."
"Not at all. How could I be mad at Lily? She didn't lie. I did choose the dress for her. Why would I hide
the truth from others? Besides, I often choose dresses for my mother-in-law as well."
"Rashad, we are family. Please stop being so polite towards me in the future," Sophia reminded him
that they were family now.
Chloe almost thumbed up at her, thinking Sophia was way too clever.
Rashad smiled. "I agree. I was worried you might overthink. Since you didn't take it to your heart, I'm
relieved."
Sophia asked, half-jokingly, "Rashad, in your eyes, am I very petty?"
Rashad suddenly laughed. "Of course not. I should thank you for being considerate. I have even
forgotten to prepare a dress for my mother."
Somehow, his repetition of this matter disgusted Sophia.
"It's no big deal, Rashad. Lily and I went shopping that day. If not, I would not have thought of buying a
dress for your mother..." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Rashad interrupted her, "Sophia, if you had thought about it, it meant you still didn't think we were your
family. But you hadn't thought about it until you went shopping with my mother. That meant we were still
close. Don't worry. My mother and I would not feel unhappy or blame you even if you were
inconsiderate."
Chloe had to admit that Rashad had made speaking an art. She believed he had understood Sophia's
implications but misinterpreted it.
Sophia was rendered speechless.
Rashad, however, didn't stop. "Sophia, I wonder if you can do me a favor."
Chloe looked at Sophia. In fact, Rashad behaved sensibly in public and knew how to manipulate
others. It all depended on how Sophia would react.
"What is it? Please go ahead to tell me, Rashad."
Chloe heaved a sigh secretly.
"As you know, many people my mother and I used to know had become estranged from us after we
returned to Sealand. We lack common topics. I know you are super busy, but I hope you can make
time to accompany my mother often. After all, she knows you the most in this city."
"If you don't visit her, she will feel more bored."
Chloe could tell Rashad pushed Sophia aggressively. They were relatives, so Sophia might find it
difficult to reject him.
If she were Sophia, she wouldn't find any way to say no.
"Well, if I have time, I will."
"Sophia, you are busy running so many companies, and you need to take care of your daughter. I'm
really embarrassed to ask you for this favor, but you should know my mother..."
Rashad broke off, but others knew what he implied.
"Rashad, please don't mention it. You've helped me a lot in the past. Now, we're family. I will help you if
I can."
"Thank you in advance, Sophia." Rashad raised his goblet and clinked Sophia's.
Sophia had to sip the wine.
Many girls from other influential families were watching while discussing.
"Don't you feel Rashad's gaze on Sophia is very affectionate?"
"Stop making rumors. I didn't feel anything different."
"I'm not making rumors. Look at them carefully. I can tell he loves her. I guess they must have had an
affair long ago."
